The command differs from <code>@xref</code> in that TeX typesets the reference for the printed manual with a lowercase ‘see’ rather than an uppercase ‘See’. </p> <p>With one argument, a parenthetical cross-reference looks like this: </p> <span id="index-Flooding"></span> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">… storms cause flooding (@pxref{Hurricanes}) … </pre></div> <p>which produces </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">… storms cause flooding (*note Hurricanes::) … </pre></div> <p>in Info and </p> <blockquote> <p>… storms cause flooding (see Section 6.7 [Hurricanes], page 72) … </p></blockquote> <p>in a printed manual. </p> <p>With two arguments, a parenthetical cross-reference has this template: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">… (@pxref{<var>node-name</var>, <var>cross-reference-name</var>}) … </pre></div> <p>which produces </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">… (*note <var>cross-reference-name</var>: <var>node-name</var>.) … </pre></div> <p>in Info and </p> <blockquote> <p>… (see Section <var>nnn</var> [<var>node-name</var>], page <var>ppp</var>) … </p></blockquote> <p>in a printed manual. </p> <p><code>@pxref</code> can be used with up to five arguments, just like <code>@xref</code> (see <a href="_0040xref.html"><code>@xref</code></a>). </p> <p>In past versions of Texinfo, it was not allowed to write punctuation after a <code>@pxref</code>, so it could be used <em>only</em> before a right parenthesis. This is no longer the case. The effect of ‘<samp>@pxref{<var>node-name</var>}</samp>’ is similar to that of ‘<samp>see @ref{<var>node-name</var>}</samp>’. However, in many circumstance the latter is preferrable, as this makes it clear in the Info output that the word “see” should be present. </p> </div> </body> </html>
